Weigh In {6 weeks postpartum}

My weigh in for week 6 was much more impressive than week 5.
I weighed in at 213.6. That's a loss of 3.8lbs..I'll take it! I have 9.6lbs to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight. Then we'll be back to the "real" weight loss journey to get to my ultimate goal weight of 160lbs.

40 weeks pregnant vs. 6 weeks postpartum

So, at 6 weeks postpartum I went for a post-baby checkup. My doctor expressed that my postpartum weight loss was right on track and all my hormone levels were fine, but guess what? I am not yet healed after birthing a 9lb baby. I go back to get re-checked out on February 5th, so until then no working out or heavy activity. I want to heal so that I won't have to be re-stitched (sorry if TMI). So, taking it easy for the time being!

As for eating healthy, that is right on target as well. I feel like I am being extra conscious of everything I eat, whether it be I'm worried about the caloric value or if it will affect my son through breast milk. One area I do want to work harder at is drinking more water. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night while feeding Bradley and think how much water did I drink today? Any?  That can't be good. I also need to give up caffeine. Hmph. I've been saying that for years.

I'm looking forward to an even lower number on the scale next week, so stay tuned!
